Shekpe Letra

ha eh ah
I’m a street light
from the early mo’ to the midnight
we dey hustle hard till we sleep tight
it is not a movie duh, this is real life
live life omo, live life
omo chop up, omo eat rice
na only one life and you no go live twice
omo sip something till you feel nice
pass me the shekpe, give me ororo
pass me the lighter, fire the choko
hustle no stop, we go find food tomorrow
tonight we turn up and drown the sorrow
anybody wan stress me, fimile
dj play me reminisce ibile
it’s no love for the street guys
some of our street guys live life like it sweet die

e fu mi ni alomo lori shekpe
tinko alata lori pepper
eja kika lori elede….elede
nla nla tobi bi elede
we take the shekpe
we drink the shekpe
we like the shekpe
we shack the shekpe
we like the shekpe
we drink the shekpe
we take shekpe

one shekpe bottle standing on a wall
onethe shekpe bottle standing on a wall
if i drink shekpe and i accidentally fall
i will stand up and will drink shekpe some more

ye
attention…at ease
mo n fo please
o mu ise yen, very interesting
lo do wa alomo la fin cure stressing
shanu mi, e be wa kowa loju pali
pomo alata lo do iya kasali
mufu iwo ba mi gba ise yen dani
highgrade ni mo se ra lodo alhaji tani
ma je o ku o

you no see my gbere
mo ti yo, gbogbo yin dabi okere
very small world
everything ti kekere
bi oko ngozi to gbe lodi kekere

e fu mi ni alomo lori shekpe
tinko alata lori pepper
eja kika lori elede….elede
nla nla tobi bi elede
we take the shekpe
we drink the shekpe
we like the shekpe
we shack the shekpe
we like the shekpe
we drink the shekpe
we take shekpe
we shack (we shack)

one shekpe bottle standing on a wall
one shekpe bottle standing on a wall
if i drink shekpe and i accidentally fall
i will stand up and will drink shekpe some more

my obanikoro boys, how far
ti n ba wa le mi o need bouncer
te ba attack ma fun yin counter
mo wa more connected than internet router
all my las gidi boys wey they grind
by god’s grace anything wey you find, you go find
things go better small small
e go fine, mehn it’s just time
we dey wait for god’s time ye
all my j-town dudes and kd dudes
any how baba, we go still pull through
taraba wey i come from
we go jam for the function
all my ph boys, benin and coal city
put your hands up if you rep for your city
and if we jam for the bar, m.i go buy the bar
i go buy the bar

omo if i jam you for bar or for mama-put mhenn
just know say i go buy the bar
this one na promise my nigga
know what i mean, we gats to celebrate this life
like say we get something
even though, we get nothing
you know what i mean
them no go understand us but you know what i mean
that’s why when they see us drinking our shekpe mehn
pouring our ororo, you know what i mean
pass me shekpe
you need the shekpe
give me shekpe
